Looking at their graph of worst-hit cities, 62% are non-midwest cities, thus defeating the entire premise. And of the 5 midwest cities, we've got:
St Louis, AKA "Hands up, Don't shoot!"
Minneapolis, AKA Somalia, Minnesota
Cleveland, AKA the butt of the joke for decades now
Kansas City, AKA always on the list for most dangerous cities in the US
Only one I can't think of an obvious reason for people leaving is Indianapolis.
Indianapolis is increasingly black. Whites are leaving because of course.

a RACIAL JUNGLE
Kansas City at least has shit to do if you avoid the worst parts, so I still go there a lot for day-cations. I can walk through downtown KC and still feel relatively safe.
I cant say the same for when I was in Denver.
